Carpool Consideration |
|
Each day the office personnel are confronted with phone calls from parents regarding rudeness or breaking of carpool rules.
It is seemingly very difficult to communicate the rules to all participants. We feel that in many cases whoever is driving the vehicle is not familiar with the expectations. In many cases, relatives are driving the children and may be totally ignorant of the rules that have been set forth.
Our neighbors also complain to us almost daily about bad manners displayed on the streets surrounding our school and about the dangers of nearly colliding with a vehicle which is making a U-turn in the street.
The most common complaint is in regard to drivers cutting in line in front of those who have been waiting.
In addition, students are being dropped off at the curb. This is against policy and is extremely dangerous. All students must be dropped off either at the front door, or for those in fourth grade and above, across the street by the new gym.
Please do everything you can to help things run more smoothly in our carpool lines, and please be sure that any individuals who are transporting your children are fully informed of the carpool rules.

Morning Greeters Needed! |
 The 8:30 Morning Greeters need your help. Several people have volunteered their time the first semester, and we need some new faces for the second half of the school year. It's an easy, fun way to get involved with the school. It only takes 15 minutes. Some volunteers are stay-at-home parents, while others find this is a great way to volunteer as a working parent, before the workday begins. We leave at 8:46 A.M. Please just park your car at 8:25 A.M., walk up and introduce yourself. We can tell you which mornings need your help. Or, call Sharon Wezniak at 713-983-9459 during the day. Your child gets to be one of the first students in the classroom the mornings you volunteer, and you get to help a lot of cute little ones start their day! Take your turn helping and make your child proud!

| PTA FORMED AT VILLAGE--
Help Needed with Membership Drive |
 |
|
Over 80 people attended last night's meeting and the PTA was approved.
It will take a few weeks to complete paperwork that will be filed with the Texas PTA to officially create our chapter. In addition, we will get our tax ID number and set up our bank account.
Once this process is complete, we will conduct a membership drive. Immediately, a few good volunteers are needed to work on the membership drive.
Click on the link below to let Jill Ribbeck know you are interested in helping with the membership drive.
